Exclusive | Self-Watering Railing Planter Installs in Seconds

Convenient self-watering railing planter is simple to install

Straddles two sizes of rails — no brackets needed

Just fill the reservoir and plants get the water they need, when they need it

Now it’s easier than ever to have lush, colorful plants along a deck railing. This cleverly designed planter securely straddles rails made from both 4" and 6" milled lumber — no mounting hardware needed. Best of all, it’s self-watering; simply fill the reservoir and plants receive water as they need it. Choice of Brown or Cream.

The catalog picture shows it on a white vinyl railing that is curved on the top. This is unstable & doesn't work. It's also very heavy when filled. We had to cut part of the top railing off and add a piece similar to a 2X4. We also added a block under the bottom railing for added support.Now that it's securely installed, I'm enjoying the beautiful flowers and the ease of tending them at railing height.

We have a full sun deck in zone 7a and could never keep seasonal pots watered enough. These railing planters have solved the problem and we now enjoy beautful seasonal color on the deck! We also used the recommended potting soil.

This railing planter is advertised as fitting a 4" railing. My railing is 3.75", but the planter would not fit on it. The opening is not large enough.

Was this a gift?:

No

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: We're so sorry that your Railing Planter didn't fit. It should fit snugly on a 4" or 6" railing and fit on 2 by 4 or 2 by 6 milled lumber with a little bit more ease. You didn't provide your e-mail address, so we can't contact you, but we hope you'll call our friendly customer service staff at 1-800-876-5520 so we can make this right for you.

This planter sits our our 6" dialing perfectly securely. It's a great size, not too small nor too large: I like the classic non-fussy design that shows off the plants beautifully. I great product that I will order again.

We tried these planters for our front porch and the container was just too huge/ bulky looking.

The planter is very tall because it is meant to accommodate 2 railing sizes. I think it would be better if they just designed it for one railing size (but offer 2 different products to choose from)

Nevertheless, it has worked out well for us on our back deck (for some reason, doesn't look as bulky there). My plants have thrived there and I seem to only need to water every other week (mind you, it's not hot yet and it's only a part sun location). My husband actually asked me to order another one. I like the mocha color a lot.
